EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a pivotal moment in history as Trico strikers barrack a car attempting to cross the picket line at the Trico-Folberth windscreen wipers factory in Brentford, Middlesex, England in August 1976. The women workers, supported by their male colleagues, were on strike for equal pay - a demand that took 21 weeks of relentless protest before being met.
Organised by the Amalgamated Union of Engineering Workers, these brave women stood united in their fight for gender equality and fair wages. Their determination and solidarity serve as an inspiration to all who continue to strive for justice and equal rights in the workplace.
This image is a poignant reminder of the struggles faced by female workers throughout history and highlights the importance of standing together against injustice. It serves as a testament to the power of collective action and serves as a symbol of hope for future generations fighting for equality.
Let us never forget the courage and resilience displayed by these Trico strikers in 1976, whose unwavering commitment to their cause ultimately led to victory. Their legacy lives on as we continue to push towards a more just and equitable society for all.
